By Emilie Hackett, Special to the Record – The Service d’aide aux Néo-Canadiens (SANC) will be celebrating its 65th anniversary this year, marking several thousands of newcomers who have benefited from the organization’s work since 1954. For the last 48 years, SANC has been organizing a Buffet Interculturel, which allows attendees to taste authentic international dishes, discover customs from other cultures, and to support projects that directly impact new Canadians. On Saturday, May 4, beginning at 6:15 p.m. at the Cégep de Sherbrooke, 56 cooks from 28 different countries will offer meals typical to their culture.
